THE judiciary committee of the Boston
city government is said to have passed local

there is no question that if it is we'll for one

INDIANAPOLIS AND THE BEEF TRADE,

A curious illustration of the shifting of
trade channels caused by the development of
new industries occurs in connection with the
livestock and dressed beef trade at Chicago.
The trunk-line commission has issued a state
ment showing the changes in these two
branches of trade during the past FIVE years.
The two principal points Of Eastern shipment
are New York and Boston, the latter being the
distributing point for New England. The
dressed-beef business began in 1882 In that
year there were shipped from Chicago to New
York 366, 4S7 tons of live cattle and 9. 633 tons
Of dressed cattle. During the next four years
the shipments of live cattle steadily decreased
and those of dressed cattle increased until in
1886 the former were $50, 7S4 tons and the
latter SO, 769. The same change appears in
the shipments to Boston, which decreased
from e. 40 tons of live cattle in 1882 to 81
431 tons in 1886, while shipments of dressed
cattle increased during the same period from
80, $50 tons to 1853, 544 The conclusion is OBJ
vious that the dressed-beef traffic is displac
ing the live-cattle traffic. And this change
has taken place in spite of the fact that
the trunk-line pool has constantly favored
the live cattle traffic and endeavored to check
that in dressed beef by discriminating rates
That controversy, however, is about ended
and under juster railroad policy it is prob
| able the relative falling off Of one traffic and
growth of the other will be accelerated. The
result will probably be that in a very few
years pretty much all the beef consumed in
| the Eastern markets accessible by rail will be
slaughtered in theAWest. The practical effect
is to bring producer and consumer nearer to-
gether, to their mutual benefit There is no
reason why the shipment of dressed beef to
! Eastern markets should not be carried on at
Indianapolis as successfully as at Chicago.
Indiana is great reproducing State, and
is becoming more noted in this regard every
year. This city is nearer the great cattle
growing regions of the Southwest than Chi
cago is, and also nearer to New York We are
admirably located for the dressed beef bust
ness and some day it will be established here
on large scale.

A German View of Bouianeer.

BERLIN, Jan. 31.-The Post (semi~offcial) in

ONE Of the surest signs that man is growing
old is when he begins to indulge freely in per-
sonal "reminiscences of early life. By this test,
not less than by others, Henry Ward Beecher is
growing old In his sermon in Plymouth
Church last Sunday he devoted considerable
time to talking about his step mother, who, he
said, twas devout, she was singularly intelli-
gent. she was refined to the uttermost, she had
the heroic sense of duty, but she was sad and
undemonstrative of affection, and never, when
1 was in trouble, went to her" Mr.. Beecher
said the same thing in substance, and almost in
words, in sermon delivered in this city a few
months ago. From his step mother he passed
to speak of the servants in the family when he
was a boy, Of those he liked and those he did
not like, and then of his father ETC. Possibly
this kind of prattle is interesting to Mr. Beech
ers congregation but it is not preaching. Mr..
Beecher is growing old.
Mr.. J. B. LEWIS, of Pendleton, writes re-

the Liberal Unionists, that he has ac-

Goschen delivered q speech at Liver
pool this evening. lie said that
although the events of the past few
months had not rendered the position
in Ireland less difficult, the efforts of
the Unionists would be as steadily Iii
rected as they had been here
tofore. He dwelt upon the neces-
ity of keeping a firm hand upon
the expenditures of the kingdom,
but added that if the nation insisted
that certain things were necessary it
would he foolish to refuse 10 pay the
cost. The Government, he said, were
prepared for any obstruction that they
might meet with, and were hopeful that
worthy additions would be made to the
statute-book which would deserve the
approval of all classes of politicians
He congratulated the country upon its
being free from the military incubus
with which the Continent was bur
dened. England, he said, equally with
Germany, was laboring to preserve
peace. 1t was false to assert that
the British Government were inclined
TO risk the peace of Europe for par
ticular dynasty or man. The rmor
that the Government had worked di-
rectly or indirectly for the restoration
of Prince Alexander was umfounded.
The Government would give no opinion
in regard TO the choice of a candidate
for the Bulgarian throne except in con-
cert with the other Powers.

into the schoOl-room in the basement
Of that church tonight ~ hold u meet
ing to protest against Father Nc.

that church. After the meeting was
organized Miss Sarah j. j. Caffrey,
principal of Public School No. ~, was
introduced and read series Of resolu-
tons.
lIsr resolutions declare that Father
McGlynns faithful flock have been in
suited and outraged by the manner Of
bis removal from st. Stephens church,
bis own home for twenty-one years, and
the refuge of the poor and afflicted
that the parishioners of st. Stephens
church abstain from any further sup
poit, pecuniary or otherwise, while
Rev. arthur j. Donnelly remains in
charge, =, and that committee be APP
pointed to wait upon Archbishop Cor
rigan to inform him Of the action taken
by the Pensioners of st. Stephen'sand
report fully, and request of him the rea-
son or reasons by which DIR.
McGlynn has been deprived OF
the charge he has held so long with
such honor to himself and benefit to
the church.
The question upon the adoption Of
the resolutions was announced with
tremendous aye. No negatives we're
heard. Then committee of thirty
ladies and gentlemen was appointed to
wait upon the Archbishop. The names
of the committee had hardly been an
nomcod when word WIS brought in
that Father Arthur J. Donnelly, the
new pastor, had sent for the police 10
clear out the church. A messenger
WAS sent in To order the people 10
leave.
Or. Cary announced the orders to
the vast congregation, and requested
them to leave the building quietly and
in an orderly manner. This WAS done,
and the congregation left the building,
Indignantly denouncing the priest. As
the people came out they heard the
steady tramp Of a body Of men aud saw
marching towards them body Of police
with drawn clubs. They had been
summoned by Father Donnelly To clear
the church, but they were too late
